Dotson hype

Accurate I think. But even understanding hindsight being 20/20 it's fair criticism to question the plan.

Now granted I wasn't against the plan so not trying to take a victory lap here or anything. I figured if they felt Avila could play Center they had a good chance to be right. But I expect when the Rams do a lessons learned on this past FA season they're gonna nuke it as they should. It's one thing to move guys around, but as it pertains to signing big ticket players in FA you should be certain that specific spot is a need.

All that aside there is a sense of irony that they finally prioritize the OL and then find a late round gem at Center. Kind of funny, in a good way. :laugh3:

Yeah when we drafted Avila, people liked that he was a guard/center hybrid and there was little criticism here when the decision was announced he’ll move to center.

I’m not saying it was the right decision and the criticism is fair, but I trusted the team and hoped it worked out like the rest of us. Most of this criticism was not going on back in June.

The USS Abraham Lincoln Visits Malaysia

Merlin
I've pulled in to Port Klang once in my career. Malaysia's a cool place. That trip we went off the beaten track a bit and stumbled into a bar where they were having a hard rock band competition. Ended up partying with a couple of the bands all night. Shit was fun as hell.

They also have a very tall building there, and I think there's a mall under it too but not much of a shopper. :laugh3:

Oh and btw 100 days at sea... I feel their pain. The bars where most of the sailors go are going to be on fucking fire when Abraham pulls out.

What are you saying? That they should focus on the OL and the QB until those positions are top 10?

No.
What I am saying is if you pay somebody like Jefferson but take him from the vikings and put him on say, the titans, he won’t put up the same numbers or have as many impactful plays. That team is not good enough at QB/OL to get the most out of his talent. So why pay that kind of $$ for a WR when you really need help somewhere else that’s more important—like QB?

Hindsight free agency.

Rams would be the first to admit this past FA haul was bad I am sure. Behind closed doors of course. I think the offseason overall was a strong continuation of what is a rebuild. Last year's team getting as far as they did was vets carrying them, and one of those vets retired.

But of course had the FA haul been strong we'd probably be a game or three ahead in the standings. So I don't see anything wrong with the Rams getting the criticism on this year's haul.

For next year's FA group I think they need to apply their rule set they have been using in the draft, in going after top end mentality. And you have to pay a bit more for it too I am sure, but it's worth it. I mean imagine if Evans was in this offense holy shit. It still would have sucked early on without a better OL plan, but that could have been done better too. Either way what I like about McVay and Snead is they are undoubtedly harder on their self grades than any of us are. And that is why they are so good at what they do.

They nailed the Dotson evaluation.

I still think Jonah Jackson was a good signing. They didn’t know about Limmer.

If they signed Evans then that likely changes the rest of free agency.

Years ago I heard a quip that said, if you order a peanut butter sandwich it can mean different things:
East coast: creamy peanut butter, jelly and white bread.
Left coast: crunchy peanut butter, jam and whole wheat bread

My wife is from Oregon - and this fits us to a Tee....!! :wow2:

GAME DAY TNF - Steelers at Browns

So Ram
In all UR TAKES AWAY from the game & penalizes the OFFENSE for trying to make a play!!

That BS throwing to a lineman penalizes the defense.

The same thing as a FAST QB like Hurts who can get outside the hash & just throw the ball away without even trying to complete a pass because he has that ability.

A DT makes a great play & outs pressure on a QB is going to get a sack & it’s taken away from him because a QB just moves a couple of feet & throws it - ( 10 yards) to the line of scrimmage!!

What a JOKE!! Like I said it PISSES ME because it should be some what of a judgement call like it use to be back in the day.

Couple quick thoughts on the NE game....
The silly defensive penalties are not acceptable.

Hoeght has become a valuable member of the D rotation. He has now blocked two kicks this year that were big plays. In is very solid in every phase except coverage.

Speights is up and down, which is to be expected. I like Reeder and would be open to resigning him for what he is.....a depth/ST player. Speighs has take that spot for good this year.

The Rams pass rush is forcing teams into check down passing games, like they did when Donald was doing his thing. This is why there are so many underneath passes to TEs against this D. The Rams D held Stephenson to under 4 ypc. The Rams appear to have hit this draft out of the park as well.

I would bring in a kicker to push Karny a bit. Don't want him replaced or anything, but, 26 yard field goals in good weather cannot be missed.

It was refreshing to see McVay have the guts to go back to Limmer at C. I was surprised by that move and think it certainly is the right move at this time.
McClendon was good Sunday......not everyone can play every spot. As much as he does not look like a LT, he certainly looks like a RT.
Feel better that Havenstein doesn't have too be rushed back too soon after Sunday.

Tutu did some good work Sunday clearing stuff out underneath for the other guys.

Good to see Parkinson get in on the scoring finally.

Rams need to tighten up some things for sure, but, its no surprise when the OL has a good game so does the entire team.

More Tutu and TE pleeeeeeaaaaasssse!! I like keeping defenses guessing. Can’t wait for Avila to knock the rust off and get Hav back. I want to see a dominating run game by end of season.

Goff is playing at a high enough level he can likely play as long as he wants to.

Thanks to The Rams & Holmes he has The Best RT in The NFL.Of course they had to resign him to a Big Contract.He is blessed with protection for 4 more years.
-His $200 million contract vs his $100 million looks like a bargain now when the Rams had Goff.

IMO he has always been the more accurate passer. Mathew Stafford does bring that IT FACTOR! He won The Rams a Superbowl which is the Ultimate.He also is working his way into The HOF,SO if he can continue to win it only helps & adds to it all.
